A new CDMA 2000 1X network from ZTE has gone live in Indonesia.  The network offers voice, high-speed data and value added services, as well as a smooth evolution to 3G network.

The new network already covers a 500,000-line first phase development for the country´s largest city, Jakarta, and other developed areas. It is the latest success with this technology for ZTE, which has supplied more than 15 million lines of CDMA across more than 30 countries.

"Indonesia has a large population and a communications-hungry society and we are very proud to have been chosen to meet this need," said Mr. Ding Ming Feng, Vice President of ZTE Corporation.

"The network gives our customer the very latest mobile capabilities: the comfort of an easy move to 3G and the ability to reduce operation expenditure, add new subscribers and increase benefits."

ZTE, China´s largest listed telecommunications equipment provider, has a full package of proprietary CDMA products, and is capable of delivering solutions for various commercial applications. As the top Chinese CDMA brand, ZTE´s CDMA communication system can operate at various frequency bands: 450M, 800M, 1.9G and 2.1G.  ZTE has recently launched new products and value-added services, including CDMA products on an all-IP platform for 3G, a CDMA-based radio digital trunking communication system (GOTA), an encryption communication system, the CDMA 1X system, the GSM 1X system, and a CDMA 2000 1X  EV-DO system.

ZTE´s CDMA products on an all-IP platform for 3G are characterised by industry-leading performance, with the highest integration, the largest capacity and the most flexible networking configurations. Earlier this year, ZTE launched the first GSM 1X technology based gateway solution product: ZXC10-FLR/AUC, which allows mobile communication subscribers to roam between the GSM and CDMA networks.  The product has already been put into commercial applications by a number of carriers in the construction of the GSM and CDMA commercial office gateways.

In 2004 alone ZTE has been awarded CDMA projects by carriers from around the world, including India, Indonesia, Russia and Egypt.  This recognizes ZTE´s experience in network construction, unique tailored solutions, outstanding equipment performance and excellent services.

This is ZTE´s latest success in Indonesia. Only last month it announced that it was to provide one of the world´s most advanced access network systems in a contract with the national carrier Telkom. Under the contract, ZTE will provide a ZXA10 system to help build the NGN-DLC (Digital Loop Carrier) network in Jakarta and neighboring areas. The finished network will offer users broadband and narrowband integrated services such as POTS, ISDN, ADSL, SHDSL and HDSL, thus improving the country´s access service capability.
